A great starter mic. I bought it for a teenaged niece, who's loves producing mini films -- in fits and starts. It therefore helps her have reasonable audio, and a new understanding of some beginner aspects of production work, without costing professional prices.

The OLM-10 works exactly as it said it would. It's great for any type of lav / audio recording needs into your computer. Only downside is that the levels are a bit low and might need to be cranked up in post. I did notice it didn't work in my mixer, but for the price can't beat it!
cheap and a great product!

I use this mic for making videos. It's a great interview mic. The mic is pretty cheap in price which is always a plus. The length of the core to the mic is pretty lengthy so it's not to short and you don't have to worry about filming to close.

good audio on a budget

I bought this to capture audio on my dslr. The audio I was able to capture was good enough for my needs in a simple interview setting. I later got an external audio recorder from b&h. It worked great with this mic too.
Great for the cost!

For $ its a perfect choice! If you have an H4n... And I have an H4n. If I didn't then I wouldn't buy this because of wiring would be annoying and recording on the camera... The sound is OKAY, but good for the price. The wire is too long for my taste while using an H4n, but long would be good for a person without an H4n. We should have an option to have long or short wire and make the standard size of the wire shorter and include an extension. Check my video that shows the product off - @ ... More
It works

I think the biggest problem with the lavalier is that there is no indicator to show that it is on and working. If connected to something with headphone out or sound level indicator than the mic is good enough for the price. You just have to hide the cable.
Sound quality is great!

I bought this along with a Zoom H1 Ultra-Portable Digital Audio Recorder and they work amazing together. I use them for my youtube channel where I do hidden camera pranks and so far I had no problems!

I use the lav for documentary style interviews and it is excellent witha good clean sound that filters out most ambient side noise, keeping the interview pleasantly audible the cable is long but I look at that as an advantage; good battery life and the sound as far as I am concerned is pro quality

This microphone has improved the audio quality on my You Tube videos enormously. With a long, long cord, I have most of the benefits of a cordless microphone at a fraction of the price. Very happy with this purchase!

I am a landscape photographer using this product to record videos in the field. I connected this to a Zoom 1 audio device. This lavalier is cheap, easy to use, and works well.

This isn't the best mic, however it has great sound for the price. I didn't expect much from it, I bought it to have as an inexpensive back up. But I would be perfectly content using it if I needed my backup. Eventually I would like to invest in a wireless mic for the backup though.

I got this lav for video, have used it a couple times with an H2 in outdoor and indoor environments for interviews (interviewee had H2 in her pocket). The sound was better than I expected, no noticeable ambient noise, voice clear. Have to boost levels in post but otherwise perfect so far.

The buying process was easy and efficient - unit arrived earlier then scheduled. Actually used this mic as a pick-up for an acoustic guitar and it works perfectly into a 10 watt amp. Very impressed with its quality. Would buy item again and recommend B&H without reservations.

This is a great cheap solution for capturing some in-camera audio on the go. The cable is thin and I definitely worry about breaking it. The battery is awkward though helps maintain its light weight. Sound is clear and strong. This isn't going to be your ideal lavalier though, more of a backup.
I Just Works!

If you are on a tight budget and require decent quality sound then look no further than this mic. Just make sure you have fresh LR44 batteries and you'll be good. I've paired this with a Tascam DR-40 and DR-05 field recorder with great results
Inexpensive enough to buy by the dozen

Lapel mics take a beating. The secret is to buy enough quality at the right price that they are replaceable. Small mike head is great for hiding. Nice long 20' cable. This mike is great for general project use. Secret: Put the mike cord under the clip to take strain off connection to mike.

This product is a handy accessory for interviews. It has a long chord that is ideal for all styles of interviews. Additionally, B&H's timely delivery enabled me to use it the afternoon after I ordered it.
